Jonah Peretti 4 years agoIf we are going to get all geeky: GNU is a recursive acronym for GNU’s Not Unix! And when I was in grad school, my friend Cameron told everyone that MIT stands for the MIT Institute of Technology. Recursion does not get geekier than that! Bonus Joke: Q: What do you get when you cross a rock climber with a mosquito? . . . A: Don’t be silly! You can’t cross a scaler and a vector!!!
.
.
Get it? You do if you know basic Calculus and epidemiology!
.
.
.
And don’t even get me started on the 12 coins problem!

BTW, when are we going to do a contest on BuzzFeed to see who can make the geekiest post!? This is my attempt at the geekiest response to a post! Can anyone beat it? Or are you too busy playing WoW and complaining about minor inconsistencies in the new star trek movie? -

This example is the Quaran, but any religious text will do.

Begging the question is another way to say circular reasoning. Not to be confused with a logical tautology which is a statement that is true but trivial such as “the answer to the question is A or not A”.

Circular stairs also work because they work. The famous rapper/artist MC Escher proved it.
